Nice Top Brother! I am so tired of these camo freaks!

That's not a tautline, which is a good thing. It is an adjustable grip hitch, which is actually better. The cow hitch is not very reliable and may slip depending on how hard-laid or soft-laid the various materials are. The pole size is about half the width of the tarp, so 1.5 meters or 4'11" in this case. Excellent setup for open/warm or closed down for bad weather.

Thanx for Sharing

Why do so many youtubers neglect to measure their equipment and supplies before they record their videos? Five minutes of preparation before you start recording would make a much more professional looking video

Good setup. 👍 It's the JJ style shelter II: czcams.com/video/ETfRihB01LI/video.html&ab_channel=JJsupervivencia

I saw a guy doing this and he intended to be right near a tree right when you start just so that you can use the tree to tie your rope.

Just came across your channel. Really enjoyable and I'll be trying this setup this weekend. It looks really good

Всё гениальное - просто !!!

great video keep up the great work Sir love it

Thank you for the training. Like you, I like to clear the area where I’ll be sleeping and sitting. That job goes better if I use the side edge of a trowel or shovel to scrape debris back out of the area. Stones, sticks, acorns, pine cones, pull tabs, broken glass, etc etc. The edge of a tool does a nice job of gathering and moving out the junk. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

Thanks for teaching goods .greetings from Turkey ❤

I tried out that setup some weeks ago and it works just fine. Especially if you attach your guyline up on on a tree rather than on a walking pole.

It reminds me of a ship's prow.

Best set up ever! Thanks

Your the third person to show this tarp setup, wildbeare showed it but gave credit to another. But this one's great and remains in my reportoire with a 3 m x 3 m tarp.

Is this race the 7 valleys ultra

Slaughter to prevail mask? lol legit

Seen this a few times recently. Seems like a great set up, definitely will be trying this.

What a brilliant short documentary film, Dan! Fair play to you, a real inspiration! Also just to add; what a brave soul you are, being as vulnerable as you were here and in the interview part of this video ❤ you're an amazing being buddy

Thanks

Love this Dan! So, so good. What an experience 🤙 big love 💕

I couldn’t have done it with out you guys and girls! Always grateful for tribe. ❤

What an experience this was dude! Amazing to see you cross that finishing point and being surrounded by those who love you! Incredible story

Yes! Absolutely phenomenal. Super proud of you brother! Kudos to Dan for the documentary, he captured it fantastically 🩵

this is the one I was looking for! thank you!

Best I have seen.

Have you ran those races before? I ran a marathon in 2015 with no training and finished but it was rough

If I was to use a 4x4 tarp would that be big enough to sleep two on this set up?

Now we are talking . Poetry for the eyes and ears .

I love the ritual of gathering wood , lighting a good fire and cooking outdoors alone . I have the same grill and it adds such artisan theatre and olde world primitivism to a day/ night out . Great video .

Brilliant bro' thanks. Not sure I've seen that set up before. Got a woodland camp with a scout troop soon. Was going to use my Finish Loue shelter. Your DD shelter means I can travel lighter.

Modified PLOUGH configuration.......

Mate that was absolutely beautiful, nothing short of epic. What amazing mist 💜

Looks like a modified flying diamond

Sounds cracking ,guna try this at home first impress our lass lol 👍

Great vid, awesome pitch. Sub'd

It's everywhere too!

Another great video ❤

Great video and superb information😊

🇬🇧​ (​Translation) Thank you for your video, your basic setup is very close to the ideal. A tree, another pole and two or three pegs will always provide enough attachment points for a minimal tent construction in which it is comfortable to sit upright. What is attached to it as tarpaulins(!) depends on the weather and weight or simply arises from one's own imagination & needs or what is found on the spot. Protection from rain, wind, foreign s😉ight, insects and strong sunlight can be achieved with classic (tent) tarpaulins, foils, blankets, mosquito nets and fabrics of all kinds, which retain their practical properties for their actual purposes. The lighter (and the thinner) this "outer skin" is, the more of it you can take with you, which means "more living space". The many gaps in the structure allow ventilation and a view to the outside. With a rope and a walking stick as well as a small shovel that can also be used as a ground anchor and barbecue skewers, you already create the basis for your house, which can be made homely with a rain poncho, rescue foil and just various blankets and towels.😉 ​🇩🇪 ​(Original) Danke für dein Video, dein Grundaufbau kommt dem Ideal sehr nahe. Ein Baum, ein weiterer Stock und zwei, drei Heringe bietet immer genug Befestigungspunkte für eine minimale Zeltkonstruktion, in der es sich bequem aufrecht sitzen lässt. Was als Planen(!) daran angebracht wird, orientiert sich am Wetter und Gewicht oder entspringt schlicht der eigenen Phantasie & Bedürfnissen oder dem, was am Ort vorgefunden wird. Schutz vor Regen, Wind, Fremdeinsicht, Insekten und starker Sonneneinstrahlung kann mit klassischen (Zelt-)Planen, Folien, Decken, Moskitonetzen und Gewebe aller Art erreicht werden, die ihre praktischen Eigenschaften für ihre eigentlichen Zwecke ja behalten. Je leichter (und je dünner) diese "Außenhaut" ist, desto mehr kann man davon mitnehmen, was "mehr Wohnraum" oder eben weniger Schlepperei bedeuten kann. Die vielen Lücken im Aufbau erlauben eine Belüftung und eine Sicht nach außen. Mit einem Seil und einem Wanderstock sowie einer kleinen Schaufel, die auch als Erdanker verwendet werden kann und Grillspießen schafft man schon die Basis für sein Haus, das mit einem Regenponcho, Rettungsfolie und eben diversen Decken und Handtüchern heimelig gemacht werden kann.

Gonna try this tomorrow. Thank you

This is absolute genius, I have just set this up in my field using an old 3m x 3m DD tarp and some extending poles and it is fantastic, I am going to order a 4m x 4m DD tarp as I am old and would love a little more room. Liked and subscribed.

why do you sleep in separate tents?

I wore a super thin sun hoodie for walking the tour du Mont Blanc. It was high twenties at the start and mid thirties when I finished. Kept the sun off my neck head and arms and dried super quickly. Would definitely recommend one for you.

This is my favorite setup, too. Works with square or rectangular tarps, and you can leave it open or seal it up tight!

I've used a tarp quite a bit, but I've not seen this set up. It looks really easy and there's so much room. I think it's one of those "why didn't I know about this earlier" set ups. Many thanks.

great video, nicely shot and great explanations.....deserves far more views mate, keep up the great content ✌🏻

Yes I remember the amazing sky in the morning, I was approaching the north end of Salisbuey Plain, I was late because my bike got a puncture, had to repair at the side of the road with numb fingers. Anyway I thought the purpose was to see the high point of the sun at mid day, but the stewards were trying to get people to leave, including the drumming hippies who were on the stones. The point of it is to mark the fact that the sun is now higher at mid day than before, right? The stewards seemed baffled, but I am convinced!

Nice effort with the overheads...very effective for tarp videos
